I EXPOSE THE FACTS...PERIOD
WHY CHOOSE A-1 HOME INSPECTION?
PLEASE READ ON......
"I cannot think of anything that would be an improvement to what was a thorough and professional inspection." Robert Katz, Konigsberg Wolf & Co. CPA's, NYC customer

Also, please read the "Buyers Beware, 1st Time or Not Page" Whether a commercial or residential inspection is needed, I will have your best interests in mind!
Don't get stuck with a blind inspector, someone in training, or just any inspector from a group... nor should you automatically choose a prior builder or tradesperson. Ever question why a multi-year home "builder" suddenly morphs into a "qualified" home inspector? It should make you wonder. "I have over 20 years of home building experience... blah, blah, blah....."... Better yet, how about the "licensed" HVAC, Electrician, Plumber, Pest Control Tech, Engineer.... who decides to do home inspections? Same rules apply only stricter because now you're down to ONE section of a house that a former contractor may have had "chronological" experience in.... Unless they had a total grasp of the total home systems AND inspection AND personal skills experience, you may end up with someone who just didn't like their job anymore and "moved on" to home inspections.... they "may" know how to build "a system", they may not necessarily have the eye or experience for inspections!
Most home builders dislike municipal inspectors or may have had an "in" with some of them...or had no oversight or watchdog agency! Some will not build in particular towns because the municipal building inspector is too "strict." Let's see... a solo builder might have built (completed) say 60 homes in 20 years time.... WOW that's alot of homes! A-1 has professionally "inspected" over 2,000 homes and counting!!
Let's not forget all the subcontracting... how much of the home did they actually "build"!! After all, if they were really good at their trade, why would they have left building etc. and go into inspecting anyway? Easy money, more money....I doubt it.... who really knows. Try to find a builder/contractor who did not subcontract out most of the building process or built just one home at a time (inspectors inspect one home at a time) and I'll show you a car that gets 200MPG.
Try to communicate with a builder sometime. I have on three homes I had built... They are your buddies at the intitial contract signing and "maybe" at the closing. That's it! Oh and let's not forget the former builder turned inspector who offers to conveniently remodel or update your resale.... PLEAAAASE check your wallet right now!! Don't forget the all important "difference" on some other websites.....I love this...."inspectors may or may not be employess of (xyz) company." Who the heck is working for you? With the "Sherlock of Homes/A1" I AM the inspector! Period!
